Contributions from the Education Alliance, an organization that supports school vouchers and opposes bilingual education, were donated to the CSUD recall committee. The news broke on April 5. Here’s what readers had to say about the news.

“Give teachers lots of credit and I still expect they will not support candidates with this type of backing. And while this may seem like ‘old news,’ the ABC trustees were asked numerous times if they were backed by the Ed Alliance and they denied it over and over. At least now they must acknowledge that the Education Alliance is supporting the recall and anyone can check out the activities of this group over the years to see if that is what we want as our board majority.” – supportskids

“Boy, that’s a broad brush. I sure would give teachers more credit than that. If they can all be swayed so easily by old news dredged up and spun new with more lies by Draper and feigned surprise by Soderberg, then maybe what the Education Alliance says about the teachers’ union is right. I hope not. At least the teachers I know don’t feel that way. Some of them actually have followed the issues and think for themselves.” – crisscross

“This is what happens when you let Coto people make decisions. Please just stay behind your gates and take your Xanax, Vicodin and Viagra.” – lincolnclubclown

“Citizens of CUSD – you think the board members created problems in your district? The Education Alliance will make the Board look like Mother Teresa once they get a foothold. The Education Alliance is a group of fanatics who have ruined and been thrown out of a number of districts throughout the state.” – sigmapi
